The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 235 Of course they want you to win the Best Actor Award
"What's the reaction from the outside world?"

As soon as Xu Xing got into the car, he asked Sun Man.

"It was quite a sensation. The live broadcast room was jammed. It was at its peak and topped the trending search charts on all social media platforms."

Sun Man smiled.

Xu Xing glanced at her.

She then changed her words.

"Fans are going crazy with excitement, haters are vomiting blood with anger, and the fan circle is the most broken. The post of Group 8 proposing to ban you has been 8,000 comments, but passers-by are leaning towards you. After all, the movie has not been released yet, and no one has seen your performance yet, so they can't arbitrarily say that you don't deserve the Best Actor award.

"With the foreshadowing of Ma Sichun and Zhou Dongyu winning both Best Actress awards last year, people were not particularly shocked by this Best Actor award. It is generally believed that you should at least perform as well as Ma Sichun in Love with You. The press releases about Conquering Dao Province and Huang Bo being banned from the second film are still in progress. Let's see tomorrow, and it should be completely stable."

Sun Man glanced at her phone and continued talking.

"Huang Bo just liked the photo of the two of you last night on Weibo. It should be over in an hour or two. For now, only a few marketing accounts in the mainland are fiercely questioning it. The media in the island province is unexpectedly quiet. So the most difficult part of the black fan attack on you, Huang Bo, has been solved. It seems that Huang Bo admires you very much."

"..." Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "Just now after the party, I should have gone to have a few more drinks with him. Now-"

"You don't have to go over there," Sun Man said, showing Xu Xing the screen of her phone. "He just posted a photo of four people, him, Lei Jiayin, Shu Qi, and Xu Weining, jokingly saying it was a party for the fall of the horse. It's not appropriate for you to go over there."

"Ok."

Xu Xing nodded.

It used to be quite embarrassing.

Moreover, the enthusiastic Ms. Xu Weining invited Xu Xing again as a joke after Xu Xing won the Best Actor Award, but was rejected by Xu Xing again...

Then go straight back to the hotel.

I went to Weibo first and took a look. The entry for Xu Xing winning the Best Actor award was ranked first.

The topic square was full of Xu Xing’s fans celebrating wildly.

On the popular Weibo, not only were Xu Xing’s fans blowing him big trumpets, but also big fans and fan clubs were celebrating by drawing lots, and there were also a large number of marketing accounts arguing why Xu Xing won the Best Actor award.

The focus is on the reviews of well-known film critics after "Under the Ice" and "Witness" were screened at the film festival.

Both Xu Xing and Huang Bo's performances were praised, but the difference is that although "Under the Ice" was nominated for the Best Film at the Shanghai Film Festival, "Witness" was not nominated for the Best Film at the Golden Horse Awards.

But in fact, film critics all think that "Under the Ice" is terrible, and the only criticism of "Witness" is that the ending was reshot in order to pass the review in the mainland, which seems to be a pity.

With a bad movie and a second ban, it was normal for Huang Bo to be eliminated in the first round.

The marketing matrix built by Liu Cheng in recent years, with the help of Xu Xing's fans' comment control, has indeed always been able to solve problems with twice the result with half the effort.

Open WeChat.

Messages of congratulations will make all chat boxes red.

Let’s see if Yu Murong is asleep first.

【[Grinning teeth]】

[[Like] Xiao Xing, you are awesome! ]

She actually replied immediately.

It's almost midnight.

Xu Xing directly sent a video call invitation.

On the screen, Yu Murong was sitting on the bed in her pajamas. The light from the bedside lamp was very soft, making her look particularly gentle.

Her voice is also very gentle.

Yu Murong said that she handled a case in the evening, so she didn't go to bed until now, but she didn't expect Xu Xing to call her.

She also said that she could have finished it earlier, but she watched Xu Xing's award ceremony in the middle, so she was delayed.

She is proud of Xu Xing.

Xu Xing kept chatting with her until the car stopped in the hotel parking lot. After several minutes, Yu Murong covered her mouth with her hand, yawned, and said that she was going to sleep, and asked Xu Xing to go to bed early.

Hang up the call.

[Is Sister Zhen asleep? ]

Xu Xing sent it to Qu Mingzhen.

no reply.

Then send another one.

[Sister Gangrong told me to thank you more and listen to you more. ]

Wait for the elevator to stop on the upper floor.

【Oh. 】

Qu Mingzhen finally responded.

[Sister Zhen, open the door. ]

Xu Xing sent it again immediately.

It’s not that Xu Xing drank too much at the after party and wanted to do something to her after winning the Best Actor award, but that he had something to ask her.

Qu: [No. [Sweating]]

Xu: [I won’t leave unless you drive. [pouting]]

Qu: [……]

Xu: [[Daze]]

Half a second passed.

Qu: [Come in.]

Xu Xing immediately pushed the door open and walked in. Qu Mingzhen at the door took a step back like a frightened rabbit, and subconsciously wrapped his nightgown tightly around him.

After Xu Xing closed the door, what he saw was the graceful curves of Ms. Qu wrapped in a loose nightgown. Her waist was so thin, her hips were so prominent, and her chest was so high when hidden by her arms.

Coupled with the way she stared at him motionlessly and the orange light in the entrance, it was really...

Respect respect!

"right here?"

Xu Xing asked with a smile.

"Hmm?" Qu Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, then secretly spit at Xu Xing who asked this question on purpose, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Go sit on the sofa."

He also gestured with his hand to Xu Xing to go first.

Xu Xing looked at Qu Mingzhen with a strange look, and Qu Mingzhen realized that her words contained homophones.

Little bunny!

Qu Mingzhen, whose face began to feel hot again, cursed in his heart, gave Xu Xing a cold look, and walked straight to the sofa.

...Thank goodness!
Until the two of them sat down opposite each other on the sofa, Xu Xing, who reeked of alcohol, behaved well.

"It's so late, why are you here?"

Qu Mingzhen, feeling more relaxed, took the initiative to ask.

She reflected on herself in her heart and realized that she was too nervous during the two meetings with Xu Xing, which made things very ambiguous. But in fact, Xu Xing didn't have the courage!
"Best Actor?"

Xu Xing also asked directly.

"Xiao Xing, you are great! I am proud of you! But you are already so old, and you come here so late to ask for compliments." Qu Mingzhen said with a smile, "I just picked out a car for you as a gift to celebrate your arrival, but it will take half a month to arrive in Beijing."

"You know that's not what I meant," Xu Xing shook his head. "It was just a nomination, how did it become the best actor?"

"Hmm?" Qu Mingzhen smiled, "Because Xiaoxing, you acted very well - okay,"

Perhaps she felt it was pointless to continue covering it up, so she stopped and spread her hands helplessly.

"If you can win the Best Actor award, there will be companies willing to give Witness a 10 billion yuan guarantee to see how much money this is for them and how many Golden Horse Film Festivals it can hold. If you give it directly to them, if the movie is a hit at the box office, you can get more. Of course, they must make you win the Best Actor award.

"You see, after the awards ceremony, the reporters didn't ask any particularly intense questions, and the island media, which always likes to make big claims, were celebrating the success of the Golden Horse Awards. They just sorted things out on their own.

"I did act as a matchmaker, but they just hit it off immediately. I saw the film, and Xiao Xing, you acted exceptionally well. Since the competition is so slim this year, do I need to stop them from giving you the Best Actor award?

"And to be honest, even if I wanted to stop it, I couldn't. Wolf Warriors 2 made this small circle in the island province crazy about money, and they agreed to the request for reshoots. You also went to reshoot, and it passed the review after the reshoot, right?

"Xiao Xing, I don't know how to evaluate you. Others who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor were so happy that they went crazy, but you immediately doubted whether you should have won it, and even woke me up in the middle of the night to question me--"

"I didn't question it, Sister Zhen," Xu Xing interrupted her embarrassedly, "I was just too surprised. I was totally unprepared, and you didn't tell me."

It was indeed a feeling of suspicion that Qu Mingzhen had kept him in the dark, which drove him to come and question her, but he could not admit it, otherwise it would affect his relationship.

It’s not that the Best Actor award is bad, it’s just that Xu Xing felt it was unnecessary. After hearing that he won the Best Actor award, Xu Xing’s first reaction was how many resources Qu Mingzhen had given away to exchange for this Best Actor award for him.

I also have to face outside doubts about whether this award is a waste of time. I am still young, so there is really no need for me to put in so much effort this time.

According to this statement now, it is possible that Qu Mingzhen was indeed just a simple middleman.

But it is hard to say whether the guarantee company increased the guarantee amount to 10 billion for her sake and impressed them.

"I told you so that you can be prepared. What if the truth is revealed?" Qu Mingzhen sighed. "Besides, with the 10 billion yuan guarantee, the theaters' screening schedule is guaranteed. Otherwise, they are so stingy that they are unwilling to spend too much money on distribution. They are completely relying on your popularity and the film's reputation. What if the box office fails?"

"..." Xu Xing was silent for a moment, "Did Sister Rong also know about this in advance?"

"Of course," Qu Mingzhen nodded, "I discuss everything about you with her before making any decision."

Xu Xing has been having affairs with all kinds of women in the entertainment industry, and now he has ill intentions towards her and possibly Yu Murong.

"Thank you, Sister Zhen."

Xu Xing said solemnly.

"You," Qu Mingzhen smiled and waved his hand, "I told you, you don't have to be so polite to me. Uh, no, you, uh... I haven't finished yet!"

Qu Mingzhen blushed and pushed away Xu Xing who suddenly hugged her.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart: I told you to be polite, but this is the only way you can be rude, right?
Because she was sitting on the sofa, she thought Xu Xing, who was leaning over to hug her, was going to kiss her...

"Sister Zhen, please tell me."

Xu Xing sat back and smiled.

"I actually regret it now. I think the fact that your house was installed with cameras may have been the catalyst for this actor. Last year, of the 22 Golden Horse Awards, Taiwan only won five, while we in the mainland won 5, sweeping all the important awards. The Taiwan people were very dissatisfied."

Qu Mingzhen sighed.

"It's okay," Xu Xing sat back down and held her hand, "I'll just avoid the island province from now on. I know you're doing this for my own good, Sister Zhen."

"..."

Qu Mingzhen looked at his hand that was being held speechlessly.

Xu Xing looked down following her gaze but was still shameless enough not to let go.

Qu Mingzhen had no choice but to pull it back forcefully, then said unhappily.

"That's good to know! Go back to bed! You are young and have the capital, but at my age, staying up late is suicide!"

"Yeah! Sister Zhen will go to bed soon. I will go back first as well."

Xu Xing said as he hugged her again before politely leaving the room.

Qu Mingzhen did not get up to see him off. Instead, while Xu Xing was not paying attention, he raised his leg and kicked Xu Xing hard in the back.

ungrateful!
